Episode 453
Irond turned his eyes to Raon and his lips trembled.
‘What the hell is that guy?’
Even if Raon entered the audience room, I didn’t expect him to intervene during the report.
Think about it. Who would have imagined a monstrous guy who, just a few days ago, had shown a spirit and presence equal to his own, saying to think about the treatment of prosecutors, telling the head of the household.
‘Suddenly, infantile regression came!’
It was absurd even now, as the guy who was calmer and calmer than the old warrior who had spent his entire life on the battlefield suddenly returned to his age of 5 and told his parents that his older brother stole and ate snacks.
If he had intervened after the
‘Damn it…’ report, he would have made an appropriate excuse.
If Raon had intervened after the report was finished, I would have organized my thoughts and somehow made a hole to escape, but I was embarrassed and my head was not working properly because the guy’s cheating occurred during the report.
The foundations that had been prepared melted away like bubbles.
‘No, the strangest thing is…’
Those two.
Irond raised his gaze slightly above the statue. Glancing at Glenn and Cheryl’s terrifying eyes, she bit her molars.
‘Why didn’t you stop it?’
Interfering in the middle of reporting to Glenn, who is no different from Sieghart’s king, is not something that will end just because it’s not a habit.
Direct relatives could also be disciplined, but Glenn and Cheryl didn’t think to stop it and kept their mouths shut as if to say more.
It was the first time I had seen it, so I couldn’t understand it no matter how much I thought about it.
“Irond.”
A chillingly dry voice escaped Glenn’s mouth.
“yes.”
Irond nodded quickly, feeling the chicken flesh rise.
“How true is the word of the leader of the storm troop?”
“That’s…” It
was all true, but I couldn’t answer that.
“There seems to be a bit of a misunderstanding.”
I’d like to say it’s all lies, but there were too many witnesses because Raon broke through the curtain and spread his voice.
The more you lie, the more dangerous it will be.
“The tree I hid in was the largest in the vicinity. The location wasn’t great, but I was able to launch a counterattack when another enemy appeared…”
“It was kind of strange.”
Cheryl cut Irond’s words and twisted her chin.
“Even if the Baekryundae carried out its mission consistently, there were too many casualties. In particular, the injured swordsman almost died on the next mission.”
She twisted her lips and glared at Irond.
“Is that what you did? To kill weak swordsmen in real battles and get new ones who are more talented and helpful?”
“Absolutely not!”
Irond shook his head resolutely.
“Me and Baekryeondae are all about running non-stop for Sieghart. This incident is nothing more than a slight misunderstanding that occurred while arguing with the lord of the Storm Troops!”
Irond hit the floor with his head and shouted absolutely no.
“Believe me!”
Unlike this mission, there is no evidence for Cheryl’s words. I had to persevere until the end without giving in to the atmosphere.
‘Never admit it.’
* * *
Raon sneered as he watched Irond cry out for trust with his head stuck in his head.
‘He’s good at acting.’
You can tell even if you’ve only done one mission together.
Irond was using his family’s swordsman as a stepping stone to rise to the top.
In his eyes, people are divided into those who are helpful and those who are not.
‘A guy like that is everywhere.’
It was a look that reminded me of Derus Robert, so anger naturally flared up.
‘I can’t just let it go.’
Raon slightly raised his finger and pointed at the Baekryundae swordsmen kneeling behind Irond.
“Hmm…”
Sheryl nodded slightly, as if understanding the meaning of the finger.
“Then ask Baengnyeondae.”
She cast her gaze behind Irond and continued.
“What do you guys think? Didn’t you ever think that the Lord of the White Lotus considers you expendable?”
“no!”
“I have never been like that.”
“The Lord is absolutely not the kind of person who would do such a thing.”
Irond shook his head, saying that they were not the leaders and assistant leaders of the Baekryundae, which Irond had raised.
However, the plaintiffs behind him hesitated without answering immediately.
“Behind there.”
Sheryl pointed her finger at the swordsmen furthest behind, as if feeling strange at the sight.
“You tell me. Haven’t you ever seen Irond deliberately shoving swordsmen into limbs?”
“…”
The Baekryundae prosecutors didn’t speak for a while, then raised their heads as if they had made up their mind.
“Yes, there was a time in the past when I could afford to rescue a seriously injured comrade, but the lord told me to leave it alone.”
“Me and my successor were seriously injured after being hit directly by magic, and I was lucky enough to live, but that guy was neglected and stopped…” “Last year, something
similar happened to me too….”
Irond’s irregularities spilled out as if this had exploded.
Raon tightened his grip as he watched the swordsmen vomit in anger.
‘The thing that broke the bridge worked.’
Not long ago, when Irond was revealing his true feelings, it seemed that the fact that he had pierced the air barrier and spread the sound had a big effect.
At the time, the prosecutors, who were shocked and their eyes were shaking, started talking about the circumstances.
“Ah…”
Irond shook his chin as if he hadn’t thought that his subordinates would open their mouths.
“This is not it! It must be a strange trick…”
“Shut up.”
Cheryl frowned as she touched the scabbard.
“It was garbage that couldn’t be saved.”
She snapped her fingers as if she wanted to draw her sword right away.
“Oh misunderstanding!”
Irond knelt down and bowed his head.
“It’s impossible to keep an eye on everyone while on a mission…”
“Irond.”
As he shouted “absolutely no,” Glenn let out a cold voice as he stepped back from his throne.
“Ah yes!”
When his original name was called, not Baekryundaeju, Irond trembled and bit his lip.
“The family swordsmen are not the stairs you must step on.”
Glenn’s voice was as dry as a drought. It felt as if the entire huge throne room was frozen cold.
“Turn it off….”
Irond was gripped by Glenn’s overwhelming force, his eyes bloodshot as he grabbed his neck.
Tuk-tuk.
Glenn looked down at Irond with eerie eyes that showed no emotion and tapped the throne with his finger.
“As of this time, Baekryundae’s activities are suspended. Cheongeomdaeju investigates everything that has happened in Baengnyeondae and reports it. Punishment will be decided after that.”
“yes!”
Cheryl nodded and rolled her arms as if to leave it to her.
“Go, Lord! I just wanted to follow the path of severe cold that the head of the family walked! Just to stand behind you…”
Irond shouted Glenn’s name, not feeling ashamed.
“…”
However, Glenn didn’t raise his ferocious momentum like a moment ago, but kept his mouth shut and lowered his eyes.
Raon looked at Glenn, who closed his eyes, and rubbed his cheek.
‘Does the past bother you?’
I heard from Sylvia and Judiel that Glenn also once fell into a demon while seeking power and did not care about the deaths of others.
Now he seemed to be thinking of that time.
‘But why am I in a bad mood?’
Maybe it’s because I haven’t seen Glenn’s cold face in person. Maybe it’s because I’ve been getting a lot of help lately?
He was annoyed at the fact that Irond had copied Glenn.
“If the situation is over, can I talk to you too?”
Raon slowly raised his hand. All eyes in the audience room turned to him.
“I made this thing, so I want to be responsible for the end as well.”
“what?”
Cheryl shook her head as if to say what that meant.
“How are you going to take responsibility?”
“Because the achievements accumulated so far are superior, even if Daeju Baekryun is punished, he will not be demoted from his position.”
As if that was true, Cheryl and Glenn didn’t say anything.
“In that case, absurdity could be inflicted on those prosecutors who revealed the sins of Daeju Baekryun.”
Raon pointed to the Baekryundae swordsmen who reported Irond’s mistake.
“So, I want to have a sword fight with Baekryun Daeju and drive him out of Baekryundae.”
“Um…”
“Oh?”
At those words, Glenn’s eyes widened and Cheryl’s mouth gaped open.
Even if Glenn and Cheryl punished Irond, there would be no reason for Irond to step down.
cessation of activity for several years. Or discipline such as probation or suspension will come down.
I couldn’t be satisfied with that much, and I wanted to bring him down to the ground because it could damage other swordsmen.
‘Because he resembles Therus.’
Irond resembled Derus Robert, who uses people as objects, so I wanted to make sure to deal with them.
‘There…’
It’s also a good training subject.
Irond’s strength is the highest level of Master. That, too, is in the state of touching the Grand Master’s wall.
He was a good opponent because he was a master who would become a grand master if he took just one step further.
“If it’s a sword fight, you should have something to walk on too, right?”
Sheryl said that in sword fighting, each other had to put conditions on each other.
“I will bet the same. If I lose, I will give up my position as deputy manager and leave Gwangpungdae.”
Raon nodded calmly.
“In addition, I’ll give you two gold plates to pay for Irond’s sins.”
“Raon?”
Cheryl’s eyes widened in embarrassment, but Glenn turned his gaze to Irond.
“Iron. What will you do?”
“I will accept the bar!”
Irond immediately nodded as if he had nothing to think about.
“Since I need to recover from my injuries, I will proceed with the sword fight in a month.”
Glenn instructed them to proceed with the investigation but postpone retribution until after the gladiator fight.
“I will proceed like that.”
Cheryl smiled lightly at Raon. It was a believable laugh.
“Let everyone follow.”
She waved to Baengnyeondae and left the audience room.
“It’s great…”
Irond glared at Raon with eyes filled with a blue murderous intent as if to wait and see, then followed Cheryl.
‘It went according to plan.’
I was a little embarrassed when I told Glenn and Cheryl, but I was glad that things worked out as I thought.
“after.”
He let out a short sigh and straightened his posture. As I was about to say goodbye to Glenn to leave the audience room, I heard his voice.
“Do you have the confidence to beat Iron?”
When he raised his gaze, Glenn was looking down at him with slightly twisted eyes. I couldn’t read what emotions it was.
“yes.”
Raon met Glenn’s eyes and nodded calmly.
“I learned the sword from the strongest swordsman on the continent. I can’t lose to a fake soldier like that.”
“Chemm.”
As soon as Glenn heard the answer, he put a hand over his mouth and cleared his throat.
“Confidence is good.”
He clenched his chin hard. A light blush seemed to bloom on his cheeks.
“And…”
Glen continued, looking away.
“Did you interrogate the people you captured?”
“I am going to do it from now on.”
“i get it. don’t let me wait.”
Glenn waved his hand as if he were to take care of it.
“then.”
Raon set a polite example for Glenn and left the audience room.
Wow.
Glenn looked at the closed door, then turned to Loen.
“Did you hear?”
“yes?”
“Raon told me that I am the strongest swordsman on the continent. You learned from me, you can’t lose! Confidence is amazing!”
He raised the corners of his mouth to the ceiling as he spoke.
“Besides, that guy wasn’t only talented in martial arts. I have a good understanding of what other people are thinking and how they move.”
“Heh heh heh.”
“That kid has the talent to stand on top. Limer. That idiot was right.”
“I think so too.”
Ron smiled lightly and nodded. However, he did not mention that Glenn is not the only person who can be called the strongest swordsman on the continent that Raon has learned from.
“But I don’t know if Master Raon will be able to defeat Baekryun Daeju. There is a slight difference in skill…”
“You don’t have to worry about that.”
Glenn shook his head. As if he believed in something, he painted a different excited smile than usual.
“Rather than that, you can’t interrogate properly, can you?”
“yes.”
Rowen nodded firmly.
“Interrogation is different from training or fighting. You must have a reading mind.”
He licked his lips as he looked in front of the pillar where Raon was standing.
“Both Baekrangdo and Hyolungyeom are full of poisonous energy, so they won’t open their mouths easily.”
“I think so too.”
Glenn nodded, saying he knew that.
“You will watch and step forward in moderation.”
“All right.”
* * *
After leaving Gajujeon, Raon headed straight to the dungeon.
Perhaps because it had been discussed in advance, the prosecutors guarding the prison opened the door and guided them to the cell where Hyeol Woon-gyeom and Baekrang-do were confined.
He dragged the paralyzed Hyeol Woon-gyeom and Baekrang-do and took them to the interrogation room.
“Looking at your complexion, you must have eaten well and slept well.”
Raon smiled lightly and relieved the paralysis of Hyeolun-gyeom and Baekrangdo.
Since they couldn’t use their aura, the two of them didn’t attack even though they were able to move their bodies, and only wrinkled their foreheads.
“It is useless no matter what you do to us.”
“okay. I know nothing and I have nothing to say!”
Baekrangdo and Hyeol Woon-gyeom kept their mouths shut as if they had decided to endure the interrogation.
“okay. then.”
Raon laughed lightly and paralyzed the two again.
“Do not say. I won’t listen either.”
He wrapped both of his fingers in the heat of a cartoonist and the coldness of Glacia, and inserted them into the mana circuit of Baekrangdo and Hyeolungyeom.
Poududeuk!
There was a sound like bones and muscles twisting, and Baekrangdo and Hyeolungyeom fell to the floor and began to have seizures.
“Turn it off…”
“Keep it…”
Contrary to what they confidently said a moment ago, the two of them started rolling their eyes in agony, tired of the pain.
‘It still works well.’
What he used now was a torture method that improved the interrogation techniques of the shadows in his own way.
Not only the pain of twisting bones and muscles, but also the itching that feels like thousands of ants biting your flesh, and no matter how strong your mental strength is, you can’t stand it.
‘In addition, thanks to the cartoonist and Glacia, I even felt the cold and the heat.’
Pain and itching, heat and cold, all at once, so that was not a level of torture that humans could endure.
Raon really didn’t ask them anything. While humming, he slowly began to read the martial arts book on speargun swords he had received from Glenn.
Inside the interrogation room, only the moans of Baekrangdo and Hyeolun-gyeom and the sounds of turning books could be heard.
* * *
Raon spent his time reading only the martial arts book of Changgung Sword until the sunset sun rose again.
“The more you read, the newer it gets.”
Changgunggeom seemed to contain the highest level of martial arts among the martial arts books he had obtained so far, so he saw a new path every time he read it.
It seemed to me that I should read it steadily, rather than read and burn it like other non-educational books.
“Turn it off…”
“Oh heck…”
I turned my head at the moan I heard from the left. Baekrang-do and Hyeol-un-gyeom were sweating so much that their prison uniforms were all wet, and their whole bodies shivered.
“Huh…”
“Ugh…”
The two of them quickly rolled their eyes, their faces full of veins. It was a world apart from the way he confidently declared that he would keep his mouth shut yesterday.
‘I can’t stand it either.’
Being an unmanned person, he might have adapted to the pain, but it seemed that he could not overcome the itch that seemed to devour his flesh.
‘It’s gotten a bit softer now.’
Raon nodded his head as he looked at Baekrangdo and Hyeolun-gyeom, who were clearly dead.
‘And this side too…’
He sighed and looked at his right shoulder.
-Fuck….
Lars was drooping on his shoulder like ice cream melted in the sun.
– I want to eat ice cream. How long are you going to make me wait!
‘You haven’t even picked a taste yet.’
-That’s true, but if you go, it’s different! Let’s go for a while!
He whined that we should leave them behind and go get some ice cream.
‘It’s not long now.’
Raon covered the martial arts book of the sword and stood up and approached Baekrangdo and Hyeol Woon-gyeom. I leaned down and met the eyes of the two of them.
“Huh…”
“Ah…”
Not only Hyeolun-gyeom, but even Baekrangdo had bloodshot eyes trembling as if tired of pain. Both of them seemed to be begging me to just talk.
Raon first released Hyeolun-gyeom’s hardened mouth.
“Ke-heo-eok!”
He groaned and raised his gaze.
“Ask anything. Anything…”
Hyeol Woon-gyeom lowered his head as if to say something.
“Why did the Comedy send you to that lake?”
“You instructed me to check the condition of the Demons of the Black Tower when they come out to the Ice Lake. Check how many hostages survive and check the size of the Magi’s bundle…”
He paused for a moment before telling the comic about the instructions he had received.
“How did Comedian know that the Black Tower Demon and Iron Guard were in that lake?”
“That I don’t know. I’m just carrying out the mission I was given…” ”
Then, does the Comedy Festival have anything to do with the Black Tower?”
“I don’t know that either.”
Hyeol Woon-gyeom shook his head, saying that he was in a position to only receive orders from the Emperor of Comedy. It wasn’t a lie when I looked into his eyes.
“is it.”
It seemed like he didn’t know that much because he was in a low position.
Raon licked his lips briefly and released Baekrangdo’s restraint.
“Huh uh uh uh…”
Baekrangdo drooled and shook his chin like a person who came back from the dead.
“Why did you come to the lake?”
“He told me to go because he thought there might be trouble…”
“Is he a comedian?”
“That’s right.”
He said that the Comedian gave the order to return with Hyeol Woon-gyeom, saying that something strange might happen.
“How did Comedy know there would be trouble?”
“He reads the sky. He knows everything…”
He was still using his honorific title. Even in the midst of this, Baekrangdo seemed to have some respect for the Comedy Festival.
‘Is it true that reading heaven’s secrets?’
It’s hard to believe that humans can see the flow of the sky, but at this level, it seemed clear that they had some special ability.
“Then, what is the relationship between the Emperor of Comedy and the Black Tower?”
“…does not exist.”
Baekrangdo said that unlike Hyeolwoon-gyeom, he definitely had nothing to do with the Black Tower.
But from his tone, it was clear that there was something more.
“Then what about the other Ouma?”
Raon met Baekrangdo’s eyes. His eyeballs shook slightly.
“…not even that.”
Baekrangdo closed his mouth and shook his head.
“I haven’t come to my senses yet.”
Raon smiled and raised a finger. The heat and cold that had imprisoned the two in hell slowly burned.
“This is two days. Come back the day after tomorrow.”
“Wait a minute!”
When he was about to start the torture again, Baekrangdo shook his head vigorously.
“I don’t know if it has anything to do with it, but I saw one thing.”
“what?”
“I saw you with the man in the helmet!”
“pitching? what a pitch.”
Baekrangdo bit his lip and raised his bloodshot eyes.
“It was a helmet in the shape of a dragon.”
